Everyone thought xiumin was Chinese because of his stage name-💀

Wait Xiumin isn’t Chinese? 👁👄👁 A moment of silence for those who thought he was Chinese including me:

I, for sure thought aisha was at least mixed cause she could pretty much pass as somi's sibling

i think the only korean looking boys in EXO are: Baekhyun Chanyeol Suho the rest look like they’re from somewhere else😂😭

At first when i saw taeyong i never thought he's korean . This guy is surprisingly HANDSOME

The fact that mostly in this artist are from SM the visual source of kpop

When I first saw Taeyong I thought he was Japanese in the animated look

Taeyong yuta and hansol(was in nct nct lineup) they triplets

i thought jinsoul of loona and jihyo of twice were mixed lol

The members of Loona actually thought heejin’s grandmother was Russian because of some prank I think lol

i also thought aisha wasnt korean when i first started to know her lol

Dude samee (I mean for Aisha) Even her kinda sounds foreign

I thought Jihyo and Aisha were Indian. Jihyo's big eyes and Aisha's name screamed Indian for me😄

Fun fact : Xiumin ( real name : kim minseok, 100% korean ) was actually part of the Chinese line up of exo ! But after 3 of the other Chinese line up members left, everybody came together to form exo ot9 !

Wait , what !!!! She knows difference between korean,Chinese and Japanese

At first I also had a feeling that Taeyong and Yuta were some what related

Xiumin’s eyes gave you that chinese vibe? okay the thing is koreans have higher chance of having monolids than chinese so i thought he was korean right from the start and i also googled him back in 2012 his name is *Kim Minseok* and i was like damn that’s like the most korean name ever😂

Taeyong really looks like a anime character like he is from Japan

When I was new I thought the whole ATEEZ are not korean. 😶 Btw I am a die hard ATINY now. 🤩 Any ATINY here who thought the same?

yeah, theres a running joke about how heejin is half russian

Korean idols i thought weren't korean: First girls: Jihyo (she looked like Indian) Jennie (she mixed British-Korean) Miyeon (she looked like Chinese) Yeji (she looked like Japanese) Yuna (I was sure she is japanese 😄) Aisha (she looked more American) E:U (she looked more like a American) Soyeon (maybe she mixed Japanese-Chinese) Hwasa (she maybe mixed German-chinese) Solar (she really don't look like a Korean) Sunmi (she mixed Korean-American with Somi) Sorn (I know she is not Korean but she is in my list, She mixed American-Thai), She really look like American Kpop idol, but she is Thai like Lisa! Boys: J-Hope (he don't looked much like Korean) Sehun (he looked like Canadian and maybe mixed German-American) Kai (he look like more American or Chinese) Taehyung (he mixed Korean-Japanese) Taeyong (i was sure he is Japanese) XIUMIN (I was sure to he is Chinese) G-DRAGON (he mixed korean-chinese) Felix (He looked like Australian, well he is) Hyunjin (I think was he is Chinese)

I'm gonna be honest with y'all- I literally thought Huening Kai's Chinese until I found out he's Korean-American 💀 his name just gives me Chinese vibes, okay ;-;✊

Bruh when I first got into Twice I saw a fake facts post saying Jihyo is half latina and I didn't notice it was one of those joke pages and I believed it for it for a few weeks 😂💀

I still remember the first time when i saw jihyo i was like is she Indian ?and she also kinda looked like kareena kapooor(actress) and even aisha looks indian.

I am sure that Aisha is mixed..She never talking about her family ever...BTW she look stunning with her vampire look. Please,remember EVERGLOW comeback on 25th May,2021..

I literally thought Aisha was a Muslim because the name Aisha is really a religious name and very important and beautiful name in Muslim.

my mom thru the whole vid: oh Chinese chinese

I thought Taehyung was mixed race because his eyes do not look korean to me

Same ... When taeyong debut , I thought he was Japanese... Same with xiumin n Karina...

Don't ask me why, but when I first got into Twice, I thought that Chaeyoung was mixed.

I thought seunghee of clc was half american and half korean cause she looked like she had alot of western features but I was shocked to know she wasn't. Also xiumin because idk for some reason his name sounded chinese like so I thought he was chinese...

I thought Jin was Chinese back then because he always got less line like my bias EXO Lay & SVT The8

So u knew Hwasa was Korean from the beginning As a moomoo I first thought that she was Latino or something 😅

When I first saw EU,I was damn sure that she's foreigner,she also reminded me so much of Sorn from CLC

I also thought xiumin non Korean

i don’t know exactly why but i thought Sehun was mixed🙄 like swiss or german korean mix

The video starts with everglow Aisha I thought that she was calling me cause my name is also Ayesha 😂

*not me waiting for Kyungsoo* am i the only one who thinks Kyungsoo look southern chinese or malay?

When I saw E.U. I thought she was half Korean and half-Filipino for some reason. and I thought Sana from Twice was straight up Korean.

I'm Atiny and when I first saw San I thought he may be Japanese or Japanese-Korean. I think his name made me think that way since at that time I thought that Korean names have two syllabes and I didn't know that there are exceptions like one syllable or three syllables names😂

I love your intro!

*the first time I saw Umji from GFRIEND* ,I thought she was some kind of thailand girl or foreign girl. maybe it’s because her skin has a little tan and she has rare features that a Korean would have.

omg yuqi from g idle really suprised me when i first got to know g idle i thought she was korean but she was chinese-

No one has disliked this video!!!!! Woahhh.......we r so proud of u💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I showed a picture of Heejin to a friend and she thought she could not tell that she was Korean. I think it’s the way her nose looks along with her eyes.

Aisha for sure!!

I thought Jihyo from twice wasn't korean

Aishaaaa

Yo queen is bacckk!💜

When i saw Hendery i thought he was that german nct member people were talking about (it was actually Yangyang but even then, he isn't german he only lived there). His stage name and his visuals look so western to me, i was SHOCKED when i found out he was full chinese

This is really true for Aisha!

I thought Lee Know from skz was Chinese, Jungkook was half Indian, half Korean, Yuna from itzy was Japanese and Beomgyu from txt was Japanese

When i first got into kpop i thought scoups was mixed, since his features are so different and unique

Idols who I thought weren't korean Hwasa (Mamamoo) Solar (Mamamoo) Aisha ( Everglow) Rosé (Blackpink) Wendy (Red velvet) Jihyo (Twice) Soojin (G-idle) EU (Everglow) Scoups (Seventeen) Hoshi (Seventeen) Sehun (exo) Kai (exo) Taeyong (nct) Lee know (stray kids) Taehyun (TXT) Wooseok (up10tion) Yeosang (ateez) Johnny (nct) Mark (nct) Ken (vixx) Jeno (nct) Daesung (bigbang)

other idols i thought werent korean for me: tbz sunwoo, nct haechan, rv yeri (they can pass as filipino/southeast asian) tbz eric (the first time i saw his teaser for reveal i thought hes actually american) exo chen (bc of his name and he was part of exo-m)

So some of them might have Siberian (or maybe any other ethnic group in North Asia) genes from waaaaaay back that are popping up now. Like Lee Dongwook he found out his family had Siberian lineage and when you look at him he looks slightly mixed.

You are right

so many idols give me european vibes idk why

Ken from vixx he looks foreign idk from where but his features look exotic

I thought namjoon was half black or american. Taehyung was from the mediterranean region, or latino. I thought aisha was half indian. Lisa was Russian/American. Mingi, Leedo, Hwasa were American.

As someone who is Half white and Japanese, I’m pretty good at guessing what Asian people are based on facial features (you’re not wrong at all) because a certain race has these common features. I agree except Aisha looks Southeast Asian Taeyong looks Chinese (I’m half Japanese and lived in Japan for 10 years and I’m typing from Japan right now, and he gives me anime guy vibes but a Japanese guy doesn’t look like that) Xiumin looks Chinese especially because of his eyes and brows. When I read his name I was like he’s Chinese for sure (oops, he wasn’t) Taehyun looks somewhat Japanese sometimes but I didn’t think he was Japanese. He looked Korean in his debut teaser but with a high nose bridge and gave me a bit of Chinese/Southeastern vibes but I knew he was full Korean. E:U looks Thai/Half white + Korean Additional Wendy: I swear to god, even though I don’t really believe in god, that Wendy is half white. I still don’t believe she is full Korean sksksksks and I’ve been stanning them since early 2016. Since she lived in Canada I thought it made sense she looks half white but about half a year after stanning people are saying she’s full Korean like what in the mf world. She looks whiter than Koreans like a natural white person and her lighter brown eyes make her look half white. I’m half white and thought she’s one of us. Jihyo looks Southeast Asian and people are mentioning Indian and I totally agree Hwasa looks half to three quarters Korean and some kind of Southeast Asian Kai (EXO) looks somewhat Southeastern maybe like a quarter sometimes but I knew he was full Korean Taehyung (BTS) doesn’t look very Korean because of his eyes and especially does not look Korean with tanned skin. But I knew he was full Korean GD looks half Chinese and Korean TOP looks somewhat Southeast Asian Felix looks half white Jinsoul looks half to quarter white

I thought also jennie is British and korean mix🙂💙

Everglow aisha and E. U Seventeen's Scoups and Mingyu for me he's visual is not a korean standard its like exotic but he's very handsome while scoups has a double eyelids

I agree, I thought most of them were foreign idols or mixed. In mamamoo, I thought moonbyul was foriegn for some reason. I also thought the same for v and rm.

And when I first saw taehyung I thought he was from another world ☺☺

Surprised you didn't include Kyungsoo from EXO. He has always given me jungle Asian from southeastern part of the continent guy vibes.

for me are Taeyang of SF9 and Chanwoo of Ikon, first time i saw Taeyang i thought he was mixed or japanese, Chanwoo looks a bit like Gulf a thai actor so i thought he was thailandese

Enhypen's Jay is Korean-American but at the beginning I never thought that he's ethnically pure Korean. I really thought he was mixed cus he definately has that manly visuals to him in comparison to the flower boy look that we've all seen in kpop idols.

don't know is it only me but when I first saw mamamoo I thought Hwasa as a foreigner as well

already knew heejin was gonna be on this list

Can we just take a moment to appreciate her editing???

hwang yeji and hwang hyunjin (itzy and stray kids) - i thought they were chinese because huang is a chinese last name and i assumed people just spelled it wrong T-T aisha (everglow) - i thought she kinda looked like somi too lol winter (aespa) - instead of giselle, i thought winter was the japanese member of aespa taehyun (txt) - i thought he was half japanese half white idk lol nayeon (twice) - idk why but she felt kinda japanese to me? maybe its her figure and stuff xiumin (exo) - i am chinese, and yes xiumin is a chinese name so i was hella shook when i found out he wasn't lol rose (blackpink) - i thought she looked kinda mixed like wasian or smth cuz when i first saw her it was in the ice cream mv and she had this pink/purple/blonde hair v aka taehyung (bts) - i thought he was mixed his features don't look very korean kai (exo) - like xiumin, kai is also a chinese name lol so i thought he was chinese and yeah thats it

Early!!

When I fisrt saw Hwasa from Mamamoo I was certain she was not Korean haha.... and when I was a baby Nctzen I always mixed up Taeyong and Yuta lol for me they are so similar and Yuta just screams Japanese haha

Same I also thought that Aisha is not Korean

I though sf9 hwiyoung was Japanese- i lived thinking like that for like 1 year. I also knew seventeen jun was Chinese before becoming a carat but he looks very Korean to me.

People I thought weren't korean (or not full Korean) when I first saw them; Yeosang, Wooyoung & Hongjoong- Ateez Isa- Stayc Block b- Jaehyo Bts- Jungkook And probably more but I just can't think of them rn.

I tought about Aisha too You are not alone

I so agree for E:U !😳🤝

E:U gave me Sorn mixed with Solar vibes when I first saw her, so I thought she was half thai... For Aisha I thought she was half white or south Asian, idk why. Taeyong DEFINITELY looks japanese, maybe because of the anime character vibes??? Idk it doesn't make sense but for me it does 😩

Aisha looks like Indian even her name is something what Indian parents would keep their child's name I had to search if she was Korean or not lmao-

same here lol

Everyone : Talks about xiumin and rest about the video Me : wants the background crazy over you remix

To me Mark Lee from NCT also looks mixed. White+ korean.

LOOOONAAAAA AHHHHH YR AN OBIT TOO?!??!

Ngl I was confused between Yuta & Taeyong at first. I also thought Taeyong has an eery resemblance to Jaejoong lol

Mine; S.coups SVT ( Arabian ) Jeonghan SVT ( Korean+Canadian ) Mingyu SVT ( Thai ) Umji GFRIEND ( Phillipines ) Sowon GFRIEND ( Canadian ) Jihyo TWICE ( Arabian )

what was the video playing when the person mentioned heejin?

I thought Seunghee from CLC was foreign when I first saw her in Hobgoblin with the sandy blonde hair

I actually thought EU was Sorn's sister so that should explain Y I thought she wasn't Korean.. Even Yoon(stayc) didn't look like a Korean to me idk u she looked like she was mixed I'm just weird👌

For some reason when I was a new once I thought Dahyun was Japanese lol

Same. My thoughts exactly on every idol in the video. Plus Taehyun gives off J-idol energy Except I thought e:u was Thailand

i remember thinking seunghee from clc was mixed? like her eyes and face shape don't give me the ~ korean vibe ~

I got a Ateez Mv AD before this video started lol

Tbh at first I thought NCT Renjun was Korean...idk, his facial features look Korean for me

Heejin

When i first saw EXO i thought that next to the actual real ex chinese members like ZTao, Luhan, Kris and Lay (still in) that Xiumin, Chen and Sehun are chinese too XD

For me Heejin were Korean Spenser (from Pretty little liars) at first

Binnie from OMG I thought chinese Yoon From STAYC I thought thai or othet

I thought svt mingyu wasn't korean especially cuz of how his pronunciations in English are really accurate, I would keep going to every profile he has to see if he was mixed or born in an English-speaking country but then just found out that his full Korean and its prob just the pronunciations of where he came from
